Started getting a strange humming noise at exactly 70miles an hour when im driving my xr2i and cant work out what it is?! Thought it might be wheel bearings but would they do it at that sorta speed?! thought u would be able 2 hear it all the time if it was those. Anything else it could be?! as i say at pretty much 70mph it does it and sounds like tis coming from the rear!!

Cheers

Might be back wheel bearings going, if bearing are really knackered they will make a noise soon as the wheels start turning, sure its not a whine in the gearbox?

 

As i say not 100% sure where its comin from mate, but does it at exactly (within a few mph anyway lol) 70mph, under it u cant hear it over u cant!!! would the box cause that?! Have no problems changing gears etc

Should really get it in the air and check but not got the time at mo lol.

 

well the box can still function perfect just have noisy bearings in it.

 

Ok mate cheers!!! best 2 get it looked at really, wouldnt think it was the bearings at that sorta speed as u said would normally do it most of the time!!!
